More and more disgusted with local used pickup prices...and choice

What on earth is driving these tremendous pickup prices. I've rethought and re-re-re-rethought what to do, and how to go, and broadened my search. From a 4 whanger extended cab Ranger/ Mazda/ Tacoma, to a 4wd, to a moredoor hemi 1/2T RAM the prices are just ridiculous. I just got emailing some guy. Wanted 3G above the highest I could "click" on Kelly. I selected all the high priced spread, and came nowhere near to what he wants. This is a 6G truck he wants over 85 or more closer to 9G

Ask high. He knows the game, and like anyone, wants top dollar for his truck.
you want one don't you? supply and DEMAND. The truck segment is hot because everybody, including you, wants one, so prices go up. It's almost 2020 so now a 2000 is a 20 year old truck. Do you really want a 20 year old truck? No? How about a 10 year old truck? Yes? So does everyone else and most people who have them don't want to sell. At some point trucks started having more car like options, that means more money new.. and used. How much was a 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 new? It was an expensive truck for sure, I wanted one but didn't have the means. A good running, low mileage, 20 year old anything is going to have some solid value. Have you seen what a mid 80's Cutlass in nice shape is going for? :eek:
